Construction Specialty Contractors: Roofing, Siding, & Sheet Metal Industry Digest
Rob Kirkey : March 10 2025
Roofing, siding, & sheet metal contractors are integral to the construction industry. Many, but not all, companies perform all three of these installation
services, along with other exterior work. These organizations often work directly with customers, through insurance companies, and as part of new construction projects.
If they can overcome obstacles, such as labor shortages, and capitalize on growth opportunities, like adopting sustainable roofing practices, roofing, siding, and sheet metal contractors will gain an advantage over the evergrowing competition. In an injury-prone industry, safety and training programs keep workers safe and productive. Tight local competition requires an optimized customer experience that promotes referrals from happy clients.
With innovative estimation and project management technology, these specialty contractors foster partnerships with suppliers, property developers,
and key stakeholders.
Roofing, siding, and sheet metal specialty contractors using legacy ERP or entry-level accounting applications cannot keep up with the demands of today’s changing construction industry. Reliance on physical paperwork on the job site makes it difficult to react to customer needs promptly. Lack of integration across departments with disparate accounting, estimating, project management, payroll, and compliance solutions cost time and money.
Get ahead of the competition with a true-cloud ERP solution with best-inclass financials, certified and union payroll, embedded CRM, AIA billing and reporting, and robust compliance and inventory features. Leverage the power of an unparalleled business platform and extend the platform with hundreds of certified marketplace applications to fit your business’s unique needs.
